Sleep and fibromyalgia

Posted by sue417 @sue417, Feb 27 2:05pm

Hi
I would just like to know what others take for sleep with fibromyalgia. I can't seem to tolerate my cyclobenzaprine anymore
Works great for sleep, But makes my ears ring affects my tinnitus. I am going to go back to my 5htp and cbd. See if that will help.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Fibromyalgia Support Group.

Hi
Do you think the trazadone help you more than the cyclobenzaprine.
I just saw my naturopath, she increased my mag glycinate to 2 before bed, 50mg . 5htp and increased my cbd oil. Since going off hrt because Hormone positive breast cancer.She said my nervous system and my hormones are really low. So hopefully my g p will give me the trazadone.

Regarding Trazodone, it's hit or miss for me. Sometimes it helps me fall asleep and other nights it doesn't seem to work much. I think the cyclobenzaprine helps more but it's not something you are supposed to stay on for extended periods of time. That's why I alternate the two drugs. But some people have great results with Trazodone, so it's worth a try. The sleep effect is supposed to happen about 20 minutes after taking it, for best effect.

I wonder if your naturopath would increase your magnesium glycerinate to 300 mg? That is the dose that helps me the most, and it's within the RDA guidelines.

I like the Minny Grown Hibernate sleep gummies, They have a BOGO sale ending after today with the code MNSNOWDAY.

I like Temezapam! (30 years) Its not addictive and I periodically get bad insomnia. Started after menopause and always had it before my periods because I have edema. Then I had FM. I feel much less pain when I sleep deeply! Good luck!

I had breast cancer 30 years ago and had the same sleep issues after HRT therapy. It left me with fibromyalgia and sleepless nights. I tried all the prescriptions they gave me. Only clonazapam has worked for me. Is it worth it to “try” all those “natural “ remedies and still only (maybe) get 6 hour sleep? That sounds like a LOT to be taking.

Hi
I have tried five different anti depressants and I can't take them. I'm hypertensive to medication. If my doctor gives me something I won't be taking all that natural stuff

Oh my gosh, no antidepressants. Those are the worst thing in the world. I also tried several and I cannot take any of them.
